Here are some of the many, many threads on the controversy.

A lot of those discussions seem pretty reasonable with differing viewpoints expressed and a lot of the points seem to take primary issue with AI art looking very obviously like AI art and/or using primarily AI as opposed to an outright boycott just for the existence of any AI, so maybe a little less dramatic and a little more nuance there than you first observed?

If it’s true that the developer is using AI art and then having someone go through and lightly touch things up, I think it’s fair to reject that. The cards don’t look very good… but neither do the human-created ones lol so who knows.
